"if you think childlike, you'll stay young. If you keep your energy going, and do everything with a little flair, you're gunna stay young. But most people do things without energy, and they atrophy their mind as well as their body. you have to think young, you have to laugh a lot, and you have to have good feelings for everyone in the world, because if you don't, it's going to come inside, your own poison, and it's over" Jerry Lewis

in the irreversibility of situations" Deleuze

Note on Citations

The numerical citations refer to page number. The source's text-space (including footnote region) is divided into four equal portions, a, b, c, d. If the citation is found in one such section, then for example it would be cited p.15c. If the cited text lies at a boundary, then it would be for example p.16cd. If it spans from one section to another, it is rendered either for example p.15a.d or p.15a-d. If it goes from a 'd' section and/or arrives at an 'a' section, the letters are omitted: p.15-16.

P22. If there he a series of areas A, B, G, D, ... each of which is four times the next in order, and if the largest, A, be equal to the triangle PQq inscribed in a parabolic segment PQq and having the same base with it and equal height, then

(A + B + C + D + ...) < (area of segment PQq).

For, since ΔPQq = 8ΔPRQ = 8Pqr, where R, r are the vertices of the segments cut off by PQ, Pq, as in the last proposition,

ΔPQq = 4 (ΔPQE + ΔPqr).

Therefore, since ΔPQq = A,

ΔPQR + ΔPqr = B.

In like manner we prove that the triangles similarly inscribed in the remaining segments are together equal to the area C, and so on.

Therefore A + B + C+ D + ... is equal to the area of a certain inscribed polygon, and is therefore less than the area of the segment.
